i'm gonna buy this off ebay !!!!!.Yeah right.

my 16v gives me 40mpg at 60mph in 5th

That's realistic, my old vr6 got mid to high 30's when driven for a good run at 50mph in 5th gear.

34/36 mpg is easily acheivable as is 130 quid for insurance... just because you live in a sh!t area and yours is high doesnt mean other peoples are too.

Sorry but I think anyone 32 years old will stuggle to get insurance for a GTI for £130.

Mpg wise, maybe but 32 tops is around right for a 8V

I've had 40 mpg out of the gti after the lumpy cam was put on...

Was that taken from the dash display

yup.

And before you say anything, my dash display is spot on. I've tested it with the brimming it test.

And what run was that? urban? extra urban? motorway? 40mph in 5th gear?
There is no way you would get that as an average. 40mpg+ as an average are diesel figures.

Just thinking the same.

Fact is guys, Im 22 paying 280 quid to insure an 8v mk2, unlimited mileage and fully comp, so i can well believe that insurance figure.

As for the mpg, 36 is about bang on for a mk3 8v, unless you drive it like a prick all the time.

Is that fully comp on your own insurance?

It was on B roads and town. Didn't go above 2000rpm at any point and avoided stopping, I just coasted very slowly at all times to keep moving. On the motorway at around 70 in 5th I get about 34mpg or so.

[boneybradley]

on a run from my home to Manchester airport (50miles 80% motorway) I always got 40+mpg 

[danny_p]

£130 is belevable. 

i can insure a mk3 GTI (8valve) for £240 fully comp in my own name, unlumited miles with 4yrs no clames.   but don't worry i wont be doing that

[andc1]

im 33 and can insure a gti for 210 fully comp, and i live 10 miles away from the chap selling, 35-40 is about rite

[AudiA8Quattro]

I suppose £130 is realistic on the insurance.
It only costs me £200 to insure my A8, fully comp, i'm 36 with full no claims
